Followers of Tradition

(Mat 15:1–20 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:1 -

The Pharisees and some of the scribes *gathered to Him after they came from Jerusalem,

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:2 - and saw that some of His disciples were eating their bread with [fn]unholy hands, that is, unwashed.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:3 - (For the Pharisees and all the other Jews do not eat unless they [fn]carefully wash their hands, thereby holding firmly to the tradition of the elders;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:4 - and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they [fn]completely cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received as traditions to firmly hold, such as the [fn]washing of cups, pitchers, and copper pots.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:5 - And the Pharisees and the scribes *asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk in accordance with the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with [fn]unholy hands?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:6 - But He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:

‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,

BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:7 -

‘AND IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,

TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:8 -

“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:9 -

He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:10 - “For Moses said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER’; and, ‘THE ONE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS [fn]CERTAINLY TO BE PUT TO DEATH’;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:11 - but you say, ‘If a person says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is, [fn]given to God),’
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:12 - you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:13 - thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”

The Heart of Mankind

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:14 -

After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:15 - there is nothing outside the person which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which come out of the person are what defile the person.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:17 -

And when He later entered a house, away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him about the parable.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:18 - And He *said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding as well? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:19 - because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and [fn]is eliminated?” (Thereby He declared all foods clean.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:20 - And He was saying, “That which comes out of the person, that is what defiles the person.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:21 - “For from within, out of the [fn]hearts of people, come the evil thoughts, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, acts of adultery,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:22 - deeds of greed, wickedness, deceit, indecent behavior, [fn]envy, slander, [fn]pride, and foolishness.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:23 - “All these evil things come from within and defile the person.”

(Mat 15:21–28 )
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:24 -

Now Jesus got up and went from there to the region of Tyre[fn]. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know about it; and yet He could not escape notice.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:25 - But after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:26 - Now the woman was a [fn]Gentile, of Syrophoenician descent. And she repeatedly asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:27 - And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not [fn]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the [fn]dogs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:28 - But she answered and *said to Him, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:29 - And He said to her, “Because of this [fn]answer, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:30 - And after going back to her home, she found the child [fn]lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:32 - And they *brought to Him one who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they *begged Him to lay His hand on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:33 - And Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers in his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:34 - and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He *said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:35 - And his ears were opened, and the [fn]impediment of his tongue was [fn]removed, and he began speaking plainly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:36 - And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:37 - And they were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even those who are deaf hear, and those who are unable to talk, speak.”
